familyhistoryman Posted 20 November , 2018 Share Posted 20 November , 2018 I need help reading the condition that caused McKnight No 852 (his it on the top line of the attached image). It appears to be "Inf of Stom" which I have interpreted as "infection of Stomach." Is this correct. I also noted that Ashworth No 8585 a few rows below as the same condition. I have also checked other pages and found other men with the same condition but the handwriting is difficult to read. I appreciate any help you might be able to give.

seaJane Posted 20 November , 2018 Share Posted 20 November , 2018 Inclined to think Inflammation rather than infection. Someone else may think otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 20 November , 2018 Share Posted 20 November , 2018 Sorry, but the scan isn't detailed enough to see the rest of the entry and thus the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted 21 November , 2018 Share Posted 21 November , 2018 Had a look and there are a few similar entries all seem to me to say Inf. of stom with a code of 489. If you check through other MH106 books for code 489 you may find it written out in full. There are also cases of Inf. mid. ear, Inf. of mouth, Inf. of larynx. I'd go with inflammation.
